Hi,

What would you roughly charge for a fuse board upgrade on a 4 bed house?

Thanks

£200 for a days work? He’s supposed to be an electrician not a bin-man/tramp!!

Exactly, £200 for a day is a mickey-taking exercise.
As for your suggestion of fitting parts from screwfix I just don’t know what to say, are they still issuing a free bandana with every CU??

For a Surgeon saving lives definitely . For an Electrician, not really.

Really, an electrician should be earning more than that!

If we quote more then £500 we don't get the work, my area is flooded with 1 man and his van 'electricians'

Hi,

I took your advise and quoted £20,000 the customer has just accepted it.

Thanks

either you are a shark or the customer is a fool.. get a few more at that price and i'l do 'em for 10k. then you make 10k without getting out of bed.

I would imagine if most tool electricians were guaranteed £200 everyday they would take it. That is £52k without any time off or not working weekends.

£300? Do you eat fresh air for breakfast, dinner and tea and live in a cardboard box??

Get real, you’ll spend that much on materials of yours fitting anything halfway decent!

Eh? Did you just tell a joke Dave? I'm used to your posts being succinct, direct, functional, firm when required, knowledgeable, professional and almost always completely accurate.... but funny!!! You've disillusioned me now and I just can't take you seriously any longer .

£300 - £500 for a dual RCD unit depending on the size of the board and the installation conditions. More if RCBOs are being installed instead.

This is fair. More than £500 for a straight CCU change is ripping people off.

I was dead serious when I said £1025.

A team of two for one day - £700
CU/RCBOs/tails - £325

You are paying too much for your materials and since when has changing a ccu been a two man job? What does the 2nd bloke do?

Edit; Also a full day??
